Bachelor in Business Engineering
Are you wondering how to successfully implement new technologies in companies? Or how to optimise production processes? How to keep an eye on costs or design suitable marketing strategies for the sale of high-tech goods?
Are you considering how to make companies more sustainable? Or are you wondering how to make supply chains fair and transparent and what global challenges this entails? Then the Industrial Engineering programme is the right choice for you.
Our Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering combines the best of two professional worlds, providing you with the ideal foundation for a successful career at the interface between business and technology.
Easy start to studying industrial engineering
To make your transition to university as smooth as possible, we will build on your school knowledge of mathematics and physics. This will give you the opportunity to gradually deepen your knowledge. In addition, our course "Scientific Work" provides you with the ideal foundation for writing your thesis. And before you even start your studies, you can attend our preparatory courses.
The Bachelor programme of Business Engineering combines the best of two worlds, as to speak: thus, it provides the perfect starting point for pursuing a successful career at the intersection of business and engineering. Business engineers learn to find answers for the following questions:
- How do you organise a market launch for high-tech industrial products?
- How do you organise projects that focus on technology?
- Which skills and competence do leaders need in the manufacturing companies?
- How can we ensure our market position in a globalised economy?
- What innovative working processes will support our company?
The lecturers of this study programme are all people who look back at long careers in business, either in management or engineering, and are willing to share that knowledge with our students.
The contents of this study programme have been developed in close consultation with the industry to meet the skills required in the job market. Methods and specialist knowledge of business and technology are taught in business simulations, practical projects and other forms of teaching that focus on practical use. Usually, students write their final thesis in collaboration with a company, i.e. they work on real-life issues and queries and find solutions for those. Often, this is already a stepping stone for their first job.
Graduates can obtain further qualification by choosing the Master programme Business Engineering offered at THGA.
THGA is a state-accredited university and does not charge tuition fees. The only contribution due is a small fee for the use of university facilities and public transport in NRW.
